Grants To Develope Land In Ca Desert?

1 Comment 28 February 2010

I have 5 acres in Palmdale CA 1 mile from the paved road, nothing on it. I want to develope it with a house for myself and a farm. Also I would like to put solar power on it. A well is 25,000$ minimum and I need to know where I can go to get a grant. I am a veteran living off of a fixed income and I know that this land once developed would only make property around me more valuable thuis helping Palmdale and the solar power helping the earth. I need to know where to go to find the money without going in circles and wasting my time… Any ideas, I would really appreciate any comments other then negative ones.
Thank You
Sorry for any miss spelling!

    You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes. Once you find a grant where you can qualify, apply for it at Grants.gov
    Even if you buy books on “how to get grants” or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.
    Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.
    Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs
    Though I doubt you’ll find something for your purpose
